Walter Sisulu University WSU Faculty of Humanities Social Science and Law Admission Requirements
WSU Faculty of Humanities and Law Admission Requirements – See Details Below:
ADMISSION TO UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES
- For all Bachelor’s Degree programmes, only applicants whose National Senior Certificate (NSC) results indicate that the learner has met the requirements for admission into Bachelor’s Degree, that is, Bachelors’ endorsement, may be admitted.
- In the case of the old Senior Certificate, only applicants with a Matriculation Exemption endorsement will be considered for admission.
Admission Point System (APS)
The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law endeavours to use a point system for admissions. The achievement levels are then translated into points for each NSC subject. Points will be used to calculate the total Admission Point Score (APS).
The minimum APS required for a Bachelor’s degree is 26. For the Bachelor of Laws, the APS is 34.
The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law Admissions Committee considered the administration of admission point score as proposed by Usaf. The Committee appreciates the breakdown made in the achievement levels as this advantages a student whose performance is better than others.
On the basis of the Usaf proposal, the points are awarded as in the following example:
| NSC Percentage per Subject | Points |
| 91% | 9.1 |
| 86% | 8.6 |
| 82% | 8.2 |
| 79% | 7.9 |
| 64% | 6.4 |
| 55% | 5.5 |
| 43% | 4.3 |
| 39% | 3.9 |
| 31% | 3.1 |
| 30% | 3.0 |
| 29% | 2.9 |
| 28% | 2.8 |
| 27% | 2.7 |
| 26% | 2.6 |
| 25% | 2.5 |
The purpose of the above split will assist departments in admitting students according to their performance as opposed to the previous point system where a learner who scores 70% and the one who scores 79% would both attain7 points.
It should be noted that the this scoring system excludes Life Orientation and Mathematical Literacy. Points for these two are allocated as follows:
| NSC % per Subject | Points |
| 90 – 100% | 5 |
| 80 – 89% | 4 |
| 70 – 79% | 3 |
| 60 – 69% | 2 |
| 50 – 59% | 1 |
| 40 – 49% | 0 |
| 30 – 39% | 0 |
| 0 – 29% | 0 |
